LIGHTNING STRIKES... TWICE



Finally available in the U.S. as of today (on the Savoy Jazz label, of all places). The rearranged track listing seriously messes with the original LP's sunrise-to-sunset concept, placing the two singles up front (but thankfully keeping the two final ones in their crucial positions). It also swaps the David Essex duet and the instrumental for three new songs, one of them ("Dream Lover") a lovely gem that could've easily fit on Good Humor. Buy the album on iTunes and you get as bonuses both the David Essex song and a silly little b-side called "You Can Judge a Book By Its Cover".

Still an A+++++
